“If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders.”
Abigail Van Buren
“I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.”
Walter Anderson
“You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.”
Abraham Lincoln
“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.”
Albert Ellis
“Perhaps we have been misguided into taking too much responsibility from our children, leaving them too little room for discovery”
Helen Hays
“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”
Bob Moawad
“The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.”
Denis Waitley
